- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 sea salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup warm water 110-115ºF

- Mix- in a mixing bowl combine the 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon instant yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 sea salt .
- Combine the 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1/2 cup warm water, pour into the dry ingredients
- Stir together the ingredients with a dough hook or wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms (looks like torn, wet paper), continue stirring or use clean hands to knead the dough together until a sticky ball forms.
- Rise- cover the mixing bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until bubbly, about 1.5 hours.
- Prepare for baking- place the dough onto a well floured surface and roll into a ball. Place into a parchment lined 8 inch cast iron skillet. Place 3-4 ice cubes in the pan on the sides under the parchment paper. Cover the pan loosely (like a tent) over the dough with foil.
- Bake in a 450º F oven covered for 20-25 minutes, remove the cover and continue to cook for 10 minutes, until the bread is golden brown on the outside.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
